Apple (
Heb .
tappuah ,
meaning "
fragrance ").
Probably the apricot or quince is intended by the word ,
as Palestine was too hot for the growth of apples proper .
It is enumerated among the most valuable trees of Palestine (
Joel 1 :
12 ),
and frequently referred to in Canticles ,
and noted for its beauty (
2 :
3 ,
5 ;
8 :
5 ).
There is nothing to show that it was the "
tree of the knowledge of good and evil ."
Dr .
Tristram has suggested that the apricot has better claims than any other fruit -
tree to be the apple of Scripture .
It grows to a height of 30 feet ,
has a roundish mass of glossy leaves ,
and bears an orange coloured fruit that gives out a delicious perfume .
The "
apple of the eye "
is the Heb .
_ishon_ ,
meaning manikin ,
i .
e .,
the pupil of the eye (
Prov .
7 :
2 ). (
Comp .
the promise ,
Zech .
2 :
8 ;
the prayer ,
Ps .
17 :
8 ;
and its fulfilment ,
Deut .
32 :
10 .)
The so -
called "
apple of Sodom "
some have supposed to be the Solanum sanctum (
Heb .
hedek ),
rendered "
brier " (
q .
v .)
in Micah 7 :
4 ,
a thorny plant bearing fruit like the potato -
apple .
This shrub abounds in the Jordan valley . (

ENGEDI }.)
